Millard South's Early College High School is now in its fifth year, and recently underwent a program evaluation. By district policy, all programs are evaluated in their fifth year. The Board of Education received the results last night. Some key findings for those who completed the program included:

• More than 90% participated in at least one extra-curricular activity.
• Most worked 11 to 20 hours per week.
• Most planned to attend school in Omaha or elsewhere in Nebraska.
• Most students reported they studied on average 6 to 10 hours a week.
• 93% shared that they took the most challenging courses in high school.

Due to COVID-19, Summer School has been modified and will be held remotely. The Board heard plans for summer school during last night's meeting. Classes will be three hours long in blocks of 12 for Middle School or 24 sessions for Elementary SLAM (Summer Literacy And Math) and High School. STEM Summer School has been canceled. Families will be refunded tuition for canceled classes.

More information about Summer School is available on the district website which can be reached by clicking here.
